Abstract
This article presents a review of the literature data of foreign and domestic scientists, as well as an analysis of the results of our own research on the problem of clostridial infections in cattle. This paper provides insight into current etiological structure of clostridiosis in the Russian Federation in accordance with the data of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Center for Veterinary Medicine”. The species composition of bacteria of the genus Clostridium, which causes diseases in cattle in more than 17 regions of Russia, is described. Moreover, data on the Clostridia species diversity in the Ural region and information on vaccination against blackleg of cattle bred in the Sverdlovsk region are presented. The issues of immunogenicity of vaccines and the effectiveness of their use in cattle, depending on various factors, are highlighted. Up-to-date information on immunobiological preparations against clostridial diseases in cattle officially included in the register of medicinal products of the Russian Federation is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign vaccines used in veterinary practice are analyzed. A review of current data in the field of new developments of Russian immunobiological agents against clostridial infections in cattle is presented. Comparative data on the use of domestic and foreign vaccines in veterinary practice at agricultural organizations are given. In a brief form, the main preventive measures for each infectious disease caused by clostridia are described.
